FFB-Bridge Pro

Separate Pro documentation

These pages describe the separate invite-only Pro beta. Free 1.5.1 does not unlock Cockpit Web, Voice Tune, Profile History or Pro licensing. Aircraft Library’s reference reader is a Free feature; saved AirframeDB workspaces and notes are not part of this release.

FFB-Bridge Pro is a superset of the free app. It keeps the same force-feedback engine, simulator connections, device handling, profiles, and diagnostics — then adds four Pro-gated workflows: Cockpit Web, Voice Tune, Profile History, and Pro licensing.

Pro is in beta

Pro ships as a separate app from the free build and is currently invite-only. These pages describe FFB-Bridge Pro 1.2.0-beta.1. If something here doesn't match what you see, tell us through the feedback form.

FFB-Bridge Pro Cockpit Companion Fly view with live effect chips and force graph — Figure 1. The Cockpit Companion running in a browser on a tablet: a live 32-effect activity board, the force-output trace, and one-tap A/B tuning — all served by the desktop app over your local network.

What Pro adds

Pro License

Activate, refresh, deactivate, and recover your Pro entitlement. Unlocks the other Pro pages.

Cockpit Web

Tune from a phone, tablet, or second browser on the same network while you fly. A/B drafts, calm presets, live force read-outs.

Voice Tune

Local push-to-talk tuning. Speak or type plain-language commands; recognition runs on your machine.

Profile History

Automatic rollback snapshots taken before Pro tuning or cockpit saves overwrite a profile.

Free and Pro are separate installs

The Pro app is intentionally separate from the free app. It installs as FFB-Bridge Pro, with its own application data folder (ffb-bridge-pro), distinct from the free app's ffb-bridge folder.

Free and Pro use separate application data. Profiles can be transferred deliberately, while Pro licensing, voice models and history stay in the Pro data folder. Both apps can be installed, but only one application should own a force-feedback device at a time.

When the Pro app goes online

Cockpit Web is served on your local network and Voice Tune recognition runs locally after model installation. Pro-specific online requests include the following; ordinary update checks and opening website links can also use the network:

Pro licence activation, refresh, recovery, and deactivation.
A one-time Voice Tune recognition-model download.
Beta feedback submission and support-bundle upload.
Opening your beta tester page on the website.

Unlocking Pro

Every Pro feature requires an active Pro entitlement. A locked page routes you back to the Pro License page, where you activate or refresh. Start there: Pro License.
